Balisage 2010 Call for Late-breaking News

It is likely that, after the peer reviewed portion of the Balisage 2010 program has been scheduled, there will be a few slots saved for late-breaking news presentations. If there are late-breaking slots available, this will be announced here, after the peer reviewed portion of the program is complete. However: if you would like to present at Balisage 2010 we strongly suggest that you submit a paper for peer review instead of waiting for possible late-breaking slots.

There are several reasons we encourage prospecitve speakers to go through the full peer review process:

• There is far more competition for the late-breaking slots that for the regular slots, so your chances of being accepted as a regular peer reviewed paper are greater
• Many Balisage speakers have found the comments and suggestions of the peer reviewers helped them significantly improve their papers
• The effort expended in preparing a full paper for peer review is rewarded by the higher quality conference presentations it leads to
• Peer reviewed Balisage papers are published in the pre-conference proceedings and in the final conference proceedings, which significantly increases the visibility of your paper.

To submit a peer reviewed paper to Balisage 2010 see the Call for Participation.
